The Loremaster is a meta-achievement that rewards the player with a title and tabard after they have completed a high number of quests in each continent of the game. Daily quests do not count toward this achievement; some other repeatable quests only count the first time they're completed.

The title obtained from this achievement precedes the character's name, in the following format:

Your accomplishments have been profound and far-reaching. Azeroth, with all of the recent turmoil, benefits greatly from those who seek to rid the land of evil.

Only those who take the time to know our lands understand the sacrifices of the fallen and the valor of our heroes. You are one such hero. Hopefully, you will recount the tales of your adventures for years to come.

Only those who listen to the winds understand the debts our fallen heroes have paid to protect our people.

May a hero such as yourself live long to tell the tales of your adventures.

For only then will we remember just how much we have to be thankful for.

Our appreciation runs deep, Loremaster.

For the Horde!

Tips and Tricks

When doing the Old world parts, pick a starting zone, such as Elwynn Forest or Durotar, and go to the starting area (e.g. Northshire Abbey) and start doing quests. Don't jump from area to area at random. Sometimes, there are long running quest chains that start in the lowest areas that go through several zones; follow these through to completion.

Complete quest chains even if the zone under which the quest categorized is not a zone for which you are working toward the achievement. Often, the chain leads back to the zone you want, or the quest counts for the zone you'd like regardless of how it is listed in your log. For instance, a quest listed under "The Hinterlands" in your quest log may actually count toward Loremaster of Kalimdor, rather than Eastern Kingdoms. It also may lead to other quests back in Kalimdor even if it doesn't.

Repeatable or daily quests in general can be assumed not to count towards any Loremaster though there are a few exceptions. If they do at all, it is likely that only the first completion (which is sometimes technically a separate quest and not repeatable or daily, as in the case of Not a Bug) will count. They will on occasion count towards The Seeker.

Try to find all of the quests for a particular dungeon before doing it.

Since patch 3.3.0 addons can acquire a list of all quests that a player has already completed. This helps a lot to identify missing quests for a zone (especially in the Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor). One of those addons that make use of this new API is EveryQuest.
